General Abdallah Alhashmi, Vice Chairman of the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF), is hopeful an upcoming UAE National Team trip to Morocco can help take the squad to the next level.
In conjunction with the continued partnership with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation, over the next three weeks, players from the UAE National Team will travel to Morocco for a training camp in preparation for the 2024-25 golf season.
Twenty UAE players covering five different teams (Ladies, Men’s, 18 & Under, 15 & Under, and 13 & Under) will join forces with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation, Golf Saudi, Lebanon Golf Federation, and Kuwait Golf Federation for a training camp focused on competition, high-performance development, testing, and team building.
“We are pushing the best out of our players and coaches, said General Abdallah Alhashmi, Vice Chairman of the Emirates Golf Federation.
“Over the next three weeks, we will put our team to the test, and we will see how our players match up with other programs in the Arab Golf Federation. The Moroccan players have always led the way in being the top performers in Arab golf.
“By having this opportunity to train and compete against our brothers and sisters we will not only create a fun competitive atmosphere but also, we will find out the areas that we need to improve on as coaches and players. I want to thank the Moroccan Golf Federation which has welcomed the EGF with open arms.”
The EGF will also be sending the UAE National Team coaches and additional high-level biomechanics and fitness performance coaches from South Africa and Great Britain who have put together a detailed training camp that will focus on player development and competition. These coaches will test and measure all aspects of the players' golf game while creating a competitive interclub atmosphere between the federations.
In addition to General Alhashmi, EGF officials Khalid Mubarak Al Shamsi, Secretary General and Akram Skaik, Director General will be attending the training camp.
"In the past 18 months, we have seen some major strides with our high-performance program, and we continue to see progress with our results,” added General Alhashmi.
“We have more ranked players and that is our strategy to reach our goal. Through our camps, training programs, and participation in international tournaments across Asia and Europe the 2024-2025 season will be exciting
Following the camp the UAE team will have several local and international events that the players will be competing in, including the Asian Amateur Championship, the Arab Golf Championships and the GCC Golf Championships.
